Vande Bharat Mission

Vande Bharat Mission

On May 7, 2020, the Government of India is to begin the 'Vande Bharat Mission'. The Vande Bharat Mission aims at bringing stranded Indians from all over the world. The entire mission is to be led by Air India. More than 14,500 Indians are stranded abroad. The mission also aims at operating non-scheduled commercial flights. These commercial flights will carry people to London and Singapore and also to some selected areas of the USA. After returning to India, these people are to be kept under quarantine for 14 days. During the evacuation, people facing medical emergencies, pregnant women, students, and elderly people are to be given priority. Medical screening will also be conducted before the flights. The flights will fly from key cities of India such as Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Bengaluru.
